                                                             Auditioning for Music 

 What am I going to perform in the audition?
I am going to perform two new piece I've learned on my guitar, which have a lot of new techniques in it, which I didn't used that much before, like strumming and slapping at the same time.

Why did I choose these songs? How do they contrast?
I chose these songs because of the new teqniques, which makes a song sound better. And the songs impress the way how I feel at the moment.

How will I cope in the audition with performance stress, nerves etc?
I am totally confident in only playing i an instrument in front of an audience, because I am already used to it.

What equipment/ resources will I need?
I will only need a capo.

How will I demonstrate personal Health and Safety considerations?
Warm up before I play the songs, so I won't heart my fingers.

Why do I chose these songs and why do they contrast? I chose these songs because they have two new tequniques, I've never really played before in my songs. For example strumming and slapping and hitting a string with one finger to produce a sound. What aspects of your performing and musical skills are you most proud of? I am most proud of my concentration when I play the guitar, because when I do a mistake or when I am in front of an audience I just continue playing. In what aspects in musical and performing skills do you want to improve further? Combine instruments, so singing whilst playing.

Performance Evaluation 1st November 2017

Evaluation Formula I played the guitar and played the song ,,numb'' by Linking Park. It was a Solo. What went well was that I played almost fluently. My timing was okay. I just messed up one bit at 0:53 because my hand were trembling.  What I am the most happy with is that is remembering the song. I`m not so happy with my performance because I couldn't show the expression which I normally play in this song. I looked on the guitar the whole time but I think it was a good experience. I also think I was to much into it in learning the because it made me more nervous, before I had the performance. Before I will have my next performance i will improve my stage presence and make eye contact with the audience more. i also would like to build up more confidence in order to sing whilst accompanying myself.
